Steven and Melanie wanted to bring vintage to life with a ton of romance at their Grey Silo wedding. From the beautiful purples, grey’s and lace throughout the room to the cake and old luggage chest for cards, they definitely achieved the look they were going for!

FLORALS: Stephanie Anastasia (Instagram) “Stephanie focused on ivory hydrangeas, dahlias, along with roses in mauve and blush accents and finished off with dusty miller. The centrepieces we mainly white hydrangeas.”

COLOUR PALETTE: “We had deep purples and grey in the wedding party and the overall room décor as ivory, blush and mauve.”

THEME: Vintage lace with a hint of romance

FAV DECOR ELEMENT: “I loved my centrepieces which were re-purposed from our aisle decorations. Lori from Hollywood Weddings put together a combination of tall ivory vintage lanterns and mason jars, along with the gorgeous ivory hydrangeas. I also loved the soft backdrop that was used on either side of the stone fireplace. It really made for a stunning focal point in the room.”

DIY: “I created all of my own signage by way of using a tracing method. I also made most of the stands for our cake and cupcake table. I found beautiful china at some local second hand shops and made some one tier and three tired cake stands with crystal candlesticks. It was very simple to do and was probably my favourite DIY project.”

BEST WEDDING MEMORY: “Having our youngest walk down the aisle as ring bearer with my sister, who was my matron of honour, and our oldest son walking me down the aisle to his father. That was a special moment for all or us. We really wanted our children to be a part of our day.”

BIGGEST CHALLENGE: “We have two young children, so trying to plan, meet with vendors and work on our DIY projects was really challenging. Not to mention having full time jobs, with one of us commuting four hours to and from work each day, really made it challenging.”

ADVICE FROM ONE BRIDE TO ANOTHER: I think the best advice we can give is to hire a decorator and a planner, if it’s within your budget. We didn’t want to have to be responsible for doing any set up of the hall beforehand, nor did we want to have to pack everything up at 1 am. The decorators and the wedding planner did all of this for us and we could just focus on other things the week leading up to the big day and of course the day of.
